Figure 2.0

2.7.2 Basic Properties

There is some device information in the Basic Properties, such as Device ID, System Firmware Version, and Web UI Version. (Figure 2.1).

The Device ID is the camera's MAC ID, which should be the same as shown on the sticker on the bottom of the camera. Every camera has a unique MAC ID. So if there are many IP addresses shown in the list, check the MAC ID on the bottom of the camera, so you can ensure which camera it is.

Sometimes, if there is no IP address shown on the IP Camera tool, it could be blocked by a firewall, in this case you need to add the MAC ID to the router, and give it a fixed IP or add the MAC ID as a trusted site. There are two MAC Addresses, one is the Device MAC ID, the other is the WIFI MAC ID.

WIFI MAC ID, you can find it on the sticker on the bottom of the camera, you can also login to your WIFI router, check the host status, which will show all the WIFI devices connected to your router, you can also find the IPCAM's WIFI MAC ID there.

2.3 Basic Network Settings

Here you can fix the camera's IP address; i.e., set the static IP address of the camera manually. You can also do these settings from IP Camera Tool. (Figure 2.3).

There are some good reasons to give the camera a static IP. The factory default setting is DHCP, this means that network router will give the Camera an IP address itself for easy setup. The problem is that after a camera or net power loss the router may decide to give the camera a different IP address than the last time. If you want to log the camera not using the IP Tool you don't know the camera's (new) IP address.

This will also result in a port forward to the wrong IP address and you will not be able to view your camera from re locations or your smartphone. Belgium Telenet Users have some special rules for portforwarding and Static I Changes need to be made on the Telenet.be website. Most Telenet routers have a reserved static IP range starting address 1 to 99. Please choose a static IP between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.99 and make sure no other devic the same static IP to avoid conflicts.

Figure 5.7

If you don't know the Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS Server. Please check the Local Area Connection Status of your computer; it contains all this information, steps as below:

1. Control Panel→Network Connections→Local Area Connections (Lan)→Support → Details

1. Find the local connection icon, because you might see more than one icon, left click it, choose Support → Details

Figure 5.8

Figure 5.9

If you don't know the DNS Server, you can set it the same as Gateway.

Most routers will support DHCP functions, you can choose "Obtain IP from DHCP Server" to get dynamic IP, however we strongly recommend you to use a Static IP for remote login to the camera (see step 3.3)!

Figure 6.0

Http Port: In most cases your Internet Service Provider blocks this port (80), you may change it to another port number such as 85 or 86 or any number above 80. Make sure that if you have more than one camera it might be useful to give each camera a unique port number, but it's not necessary to do this.

2.4 Wireless LAN Settings

Figure 6.1

Setup a wireless connection for the camera with our wireless router by following these steps:

1. Make sure the router is a wireless router.
2. Make sure the Wi-Fi antenna is installed.
3. Determine whether there is encryption on the WLAN of router, if there is encryption, note the key somewhere as we need it in the following steps.

Extra information:

Encryption is another word for password and type security of the wireless network, most routers will (and should) have encryption these days so other people cannot brake in to your network. Some routers have a sticker on the bottom with the factory username and password, and the password can also be set by the user or mechanic. There is a very handy website with allot of router brand information like default IP address, default username and password etc. Please note we only refer to this website, we do not maintain or support it. The website is: http://portforward.com/ Click "Router List" and find your brand and type to find more handy details about your router if you can't find them anywhere else.

In the next screenshots you can see Portforward.com has all the information we need for our router. Please note that Portforward.com is a website designed to tell you how to login, make changes, portforward etc. Information may vary from type to type of routers. Belgium users that have Telenet as Internet Provider are in most cases not able to login to their router. All changes have to be made on the Telenet.be website.

1. Login to the camera with the IPCamera Tool or manual using your Browser. (Figure 2.8)

2. Click "Network">"Wireless Lan Settings">"Scan", please press scan 2 times, then you will find the WLAN the list, choose the one you use. (Figure 6.2).

Figure 6.1.1

Figure 6.2

Please note that the (tree view) menu (Figure 6.1.1) can look different on different computer systems depending on the resolution of the screen used. Figure 6.1.1 shows that we had to scroll over with our mouse and click "Network" inside the tree view on the left and that the options unfold in the tree view itself. After clicking "Network" you will see something like Figure 6.1.1.

1. Select your Wireless network in the list, please look careful and select the right one.

"Wireless Lan" can also be referred as "SSID" in some router manuals or on the bottom of the router.

1. Behind the SSID you can also find your type of encryption, in this particular case the Camera discovered: Network type "infra" Encryption "WEP".

1. If there is no encryption, just click "Submit". (Figure 6.4).
2. If there is encryption, please input the share key (password), then click "Submit". (Figure 6.5).
3. Wait about 30 seconds, the camera will reboot, then unplug the network cable. You might have to login to the Camera again to continue with the next steps.

2.6 UPnP Settings

If we want to be able to see our camera live video from a computer outside our network, for example when we are at work, we have to do some advanced settings in our router. For most people this will be a difficult step, but we will try to help you out. UPnP stands for Universal plug n Play device. UPnP will do the port forwarding in the router for us, so we don't need to do this manually. In order to use this function we need to have a router that is capable of using UPnP devices. Please make sure your router supports UPnP (please check the manual of your router to determine if it supports UPnP), if not please skip the next step and continue with step 3.7 DDNS Service Settings. By default UPnP is most likely disabled in your router. Please refer to the router manual to enable UPnP.

Click Network > UPnP Settings to choose Using UPnP to Map Port:

Figure 6.8

Select it and click Submit, then the camera will support UPnP port forwarding automatically.

It's helpful for using DDNS (viewing live video from outside our network). As soon as you have enabled UPnP in you router, please proceed with the next steps.

Figure 6.9

NOTE: UPnP is only for port forwarding. It relates to the security settings of your router, make sure the UPnP function of your router is enabled, before you continue. If your router does not support UPnP, it may show error information, therefore we recommend you to do port forwarding manually in your router, as explained in step 3.7.3. If your router has UPnP and it is not possible to access your camera from outside your network please use manual portforwarding in step 3.7.3. Always leave UPnP on!

2.7 DDNS Service Settings

Figure 7.0

Select Network > DDNS Service Settings in the Tree View on the left (see picture above)

There are 2 options:

Manufacturer's DDNS: This domain is provided with the Camera (see bottom of the camera). Choose 'submit'. In most cases you will need to login to the camera again. You can use the IPCamera tool for this or enter the Camera's IP address in your web browser. After you have done this, please skip the next step and continue with step 3.7.1

Third Party DDNS: You might have a DDNS server already, then it is useful to take the next steps.

This domain is provided by the third party, such as Dyndns, Oray, 3322 etc.

Figure 7.1

Third Party DDNS

If you use third party DDNS, please choose the server you use, such as "3322.org" or "dyndns.org" as below:

Figure 7.2

Figure 7.3

You have to register an account first, enter the user, password, and host.

NOTE: Only one DDNS can be chosen, for example, if you use the manufacturer's DDNS, the third party one won't work, if you use the third party DDNS, the manufacturer's one won't work.

2.7.1 To change the camera's port. (Always change your port!)

Open the IP Camera Tool from your Desktop select the ebode camera (it will turn blue) and right-mouse click and choose network configuration. The default port of camera is "80", please change "80" to any other one you like, such as "81", "100", "8091" etc. Click "OK", the camera will reboot, wait about 30 seconds.

Figure 7.4

3.7.2 DDNS Status (Always check!)

After all these steps are done you should be able to access your camera from your mobile device or tablet (using an app). You can also access your camera via your computers' or laptops' web browser using the DDNS address.

Before you can access it, you first need to check the DDNS status from the camera. Login to the camera and choose "System">"Device Info". Please check that 'DDNS Status' shows 'succeed' followed by the address. This is illustrated in the image below. It is important that you get the address link of DDNS to access the camera from anywhere in the world. You can also find this address on the bottom of your camera. Write this address somewhere or add is as your Favourite in your web browser to visit the camera from outside the network (from your mobile device for example at work, school, on the road etc.)

Figure 7.8

Congratulations! You've know successfully installed your IP camera. It is always a good idea to ask friends or family to login to the camera from their own place. Don't forget to change the password of the camera afterwards! Please save this manual for additional features. The following steps in this manual are only needed if the camera is not accessible from outside the network, or if you want to use additional features.

If it didn't succeed, it is most likely that UPnP is not supported by your router, please set the port forwarding manually (as explained in the next step). You can always leave UPnP on, whether it's working or not. If DDNS status still doesn't show 'succeed' please check the FAQ, Chapter 4, at the back of this manual or our website www.ebodeelectronics.eu.

2.7.3 Set Port Forwarding in the router (Manually)

This is the most important step. Please check the 'extra information' in step 3.4 for more information about routers and port forwarding.

In order to get the DDNS to work, you have to forward your cameras port in the router. You need:

• IP address of the camera
• Port of the camera
• Default gateway IP address of the router
• Username and password of the router

The first two items can be found if you start up the IP Camera tool from your desktop. As an example the IP address from the below image is 192.168.1.16 and the port is 81.

REMEMBER: Your camera should not be on Port 80. If it is, please go to step 3.7.1 to change the port number.

How to discover the default gateway IP address in MS Windows Vista, 7: Click 'Start', and type in 'cmd', press enter. (see image below) Belgian Telenet users should skip this step!

Next, type in 'ipconfig' and press enter. Please refer to below image.

Finally, you can see the default gateway address and Subnet Mask as shown in the image below.

Now we know the default gateway address we only need to know the username and password of your router. Some routers have a sticker on the bottom with the factory username and password, other ones don't have a password, and the password can also be set by the user or mechanic. There is a very handy website with allot of router brand information like default IP address, default username and password etc. Please note we only refer to this website, we do not maintain or support it. The website is: http://portforward.com/ Click "Router List" and find your brand and type to find more handy details about your router if you can't find them anywhere else. For more information on portforward.com, please go to step 3.4.

We know have all information to get the DDNS working, we will show you how to do this.

1. Open your web browser and type in the default gateway address and press enter.

1. Enter the username and password from the router

1. The next screen is the interface of your router. Please note that each brand of router has its own interface. This is just an example.

1. Select NAT Setup. Please note that for each brand this can have a different name for NAT setup. Portforward.com contains more information about most router brands.

2. Please choose 'Configure Port Redirection Table'

1. Now we have to let the router know, on which port the camera is located. Service name: give the camera a recognizable name, i.e. ebode IP Cam Protocol: Select TCP Public Port: You've checked this earlier on, please enter the right port for your camera (you can always use the IPCamera Tool to look it up, as explained at the beginning of this chapter)
2. Now we have to let the router know, on which port the camera is located.

Private IP: Is the IP address of the camera. Again, you can use the IPCamera Tool to look it up

Private Port: This is the same as public port

Please tick the box for 'active'

Then press ok

Now go to the DDNS Status from step 3.7.2 and check if it says 'succeed'. You should now be able to login to the camera from remote access.

However, we showed you one example, there are many different kinds of routers, therefore it's difficult to show fixed steps for each router, but here are some other samples of different router's port forwarding settings. Remember, portforwarding.com is a very useful source of information.

TP-LINK:

1. Login the router.

1. Choose "Forwarding", select "Virtual Servers"

2. Click the Add New button, pop-up below:

Add or Modify a Virtual Server Entry

Figure 7.5

Fill the service port (except 80), IP address of the camera, then click Save

NOTE: The port and IP address should be the same as the Camera.

BELKIN:

1. Login to the router.
2. Choose "Firewall", select "Virtual Servers"
3. Input the port (except 80) and IP address, then click save.

NOTE: The port and IP address should be the same as the Camera.

Figure 7.6

DLINK:

1. Login the router.
2. Choose "Advanced", select "Virtual Servers"
3. Input the port, IP address, Protocol, then click save.

NOTE: The "public port" & "private port" should be the same as camera's port, choose the protocol to be "both".

5.0 Appendix

5.1 Frequently Asked Questions

Note: For most problems you might encounter, please check Network connections first.

Check the working status revealed by the indicators on the network server, hub, exchange and network card. If abnormal, check the network connections.

I have forgotten the administrator username and/or password.

To reset the administrator username and password, press and hold down the RESET BUTTON for 15 seconds. Release the power button and the username and password will be reset back to the factory default administrator username and password.

Default administrator username: admin

Default administrator password: None, i.e., no password

Subnet doesn't match, double click to change

If IP Camera Tool shows error information "Subnet doesn't match, double click to change!" Please choose Obtain IP from DHCP server. (Figure 2.2). If it still shows this error after obtaining IP from DHCP server, please check local area connection of your computer, change subnet, gateway of the camera. Keep them in the same subnet as your computer. (Figure 2.3).

IP Address configuration

Check whether IP address of the IP camera server shares the same subnet as your computer: Click My

Computer >Control Panel> Network & Dial-up Connections > LAN > Attributes >Internet

Protocols (TCP/IP), and check IP Address and Subnet Mask. Make sure they are in the same subnet when configuring the camera's IP address manually.

Can't access IP camera via the Internet

Some typical reasons:

1. ActiveX controller is not installed correctly (see more details: Figure 2.9 - Figure 3.1).
2. The port that the camera is using is blocked by your Firewall or Anti-virus software. Please change to another port number and try again. (Figure 3.2).
3. Port forwarding is not successful (for more details see Figure 7.4 - Figure 7.9).
   Double check these settings and make sure they are correct.

IP Camera Tool could not find camera's IP

Make sure the camera is connected to its power supply and the power supply is plugged in.

Check if the network cable is not loose.

Make sure DHCP is enabled in your router, don't enable MAC address filter.

Make sure that firewall or anti-virus software does not block the camera. You can add the camera as a trusted site in your firewall or anti-virus software.

UPnP always fails

UPnP only contains port forwarding in our recent software. Sometimes, it might fail to do port forwarding automatically because of firewall or anti-virus software. It also relates to your router's security settings.

So we recommend you do port forwarding manually. You can view your camera via the Internet successfully after you do port forwarding manually in your router.

Couldn't find the shortcut on desktop after install IP camera tool

If you use Windows 7 or Vista, and you could not find the shortcut on desktop after installing the IP camera tool, please check if the path of the tool port to is correct.

For example, was it was pointing to C:\Windows\System32\IPCamera.exe.

Please fix this by pointing the shortcut to the correct path C:\Windows\SysWOW64\IPCamera.exe. After this you should be able to use the shortcut without any problems.

I can't change the record path

When you use Windows 7 or Vista, you may be not able to change the record path due to the security settings of your computer.

1. Please add the camera as a trusted site to solve this issue.
   The step is: "IE browser→Tool→Internet Proper→Security→Trusted sites→Sites→Add".
2. You can also run the IE as administrator; input the IP address of the camera manually.

I can't find multi-device settings and record icon

Record and multi-device function are controlled by activeX controller.

So if you use Safari, Firefox, or Google chrome, it is not possible to use these functions.

Camera cannot connect wirelessly

If your camera could not connect wirelessly after you set wireless settings and unplug the Network cable:

Please check whether your settings are correct. (Details: Wireless LAN settings).

If the camera can't connect wirelessly it is usually because of wrong settings.

Double check the SSID, Encryption share key, Channel, should be the same as your wireless router.

Share key should not contain special characters, only letters and numbers.

Don't enable MAC address filter.

I can't see other cameras in multi-device configuration by remote access

If you want to view all the cameras in your WAN. Make sure that each camera you add in multi-device settings can be logged-in using DDNS name and port number. Use DDNS domain name to fill in the host checkbox, not camera's LAN IP. Double check your settings. (Details: Set Multi-Device for WAN).

I only see black screen or unusual code when remotely logged in

If you could access the login page in a remote place, it indicates that your DDNS settings are correct. But if you could not see live video, but only some undefined characters, it may be internet speed problems, especially if the camera works OK via Wi-Fi.

There's no picture (Problems with ActiveX Controller)

If using IE browser to connect the camera for the first time, and there is no image displayed, you might need to install ActiveX. You need to change some browser settings to enable ActiveX. (See: For IE Browser).

Problems with network bandwidth

The image frame rate is subject to the following factors:

1. Network bandwidth.
2. PC performance, network environment and display preference setting (brightness, theme, etc).
3. The number of visitors (too many visitors will slow down the image frame rate).
4. Choice of switch or hub (use a switch for multiple IP Camera Servers rather than a HUB).

How to register an account from DDNS web

You can enter http://www.dyndns.com and register an account.

Pop-up the prompt" Fail to connect to the device..."?

This prompt only appears in the case of using multiple cameras.

When you set multiple cameras, and the device status light changes to yellow please make sure the cameras are connected to power and working correctly.
